Abstract - Aircraft accident investigation center analysis specifies that data captured and recorded in the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder, which are often referred to as the “black boxes” of aircraft is the key among the sources of information. It is observed that in some accidents, this flight data may be lost entirely or partially damaged and largely unusable. The aircraft flight data recorders record the flight data..This paper discusses the technical framework and examines the feasibility for a system that transmits flight data from an aircraft to a ground recording station in real time using Wi-Fi. This paper discusses an approach of transmitting FDR data to the nearest earth station simultaneously when it is stored in onboard FDR. Transmission of data takes place by switching the wireless network. This approach will point out the root cause for the crash instantly without any delay in searching the FDR. The major focus will be upon the requirements for security and assurance of the information flow, so that the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of the data are ensured. .
